The Way I Feel

Sometimes I feel like a river with nowhere to go. Sometimes I feel like a flower just trying to grow. Sometimes I fell like the ugly duckling trying to fit in. Sometimes I feel like a fish without a lucky fin. Sometimes I feel like a volcano that wants to shoot fire. Sometimes I feel like a broken car without an extra tire.

I know that times get rough and can get really bad. But also...

Sometimes I feel like a waterfall as high as the sky. Sometimes I feel like a perennial that will never die. Sometimes I feel like a peacock just strutting it's stuff. Sometimes I feel like a clown fish that can never get enough. Sometimes I feel like a geyser just cooling off. Sometimes I feel like a spaceship ready to take off.

No matter what happens or how at the time you may feel just stay in the moment and try to keep it real.
